Joost in the style of uncov
Don't get me wrong, I think Joost is a great idea and there are some fantastic people there, but really: FAIL.
Last year: Transformers. Only in the US.
Last week: Star Trek. Only in the US.
This week: MacGyver. Only in the US.
Building a next-generation peer to peer internet television service that is "bringing TV to a global, highly networked community" -- as long as they are based in the USA?
*sigh*
The tag cloud tells us that if all else fails, soft porn will always bring the punters in (and it's probably the only business that worries less about arbitrary geographic borders and more about racking up the viewers).
Yes, I'm just bitter 'cos I'd have to move several thousand miles west to watch all the cool stuff.
